It reached 70 degrees this weekend in Atlanta. Pretty ridiculous. I had planned to wear this outfit with a black turtleneck and boots before I realized how warm it was outside.
I recently purchased this Madewell top on sale on Shopbop. It’s no longer on the site, but there are still some great sale items available. What pattern do you think this is? I figure it’s like a mix between a giraffe and cheetah print. Or maybe Flintstones inspired? Either way, I love the top because it’s stretchy and roomy. I’m going to wear it to work with a pencil skirt and belted around the waist at some point.
I’ve had this purse for years and it’s been languishing in the back of my closet. I love how proper and ladylike it is and I’ve made a mental note to use it more. Have you guys rediscovered any good accessories in your closet recently?
Here’s to a good and happy work week!

Dear Lar,
I love getting to talk to you on Skype – it always puts me in a good mood for the rest of the day. Actually, my mood was almost ruined today after talking with you when the Falcons almost lost the game today, but they pulled through in the last 30 seconds. Woohoo!
School starts back up this week so I’ve been really trying to make the most of this last “free” weekend. In addition to making you a pom pom garland (I’ll be sending it off shortly), I made this tassel garland for my closet, ran walked a 5K, made a vegan shepards pie for lunch this week and went grocery shopping to get enough fruits and veg for my morning smoothies. If only I could be that productive everyday!
I wish you could have been in Atlanta this week for the weather. Here’s one last pic of the sunshine just in case you don’t get any this week in Scotland!
Love you! xoxo,
Cath
that hot?!?!? insanity! It has been a pretty warm winter here in IL so far, and I’m hoping it stays that way because I just can’t stand the ice.
I love that top! I chuckled at your Flintstones comparison, and now that I look at it again, it’s totally spot on! hee hee
Heehee. I’m glad I’m not the only one that sees it. When I ordered it online I thought it was leopard print, but when I pulled it out of the box I was like, “What the what?” I still love it though!
you look fabulous!!! wanna trade weather? it’s so icky here up north. rain and some snow later tonight. blehhhhhhhhhhhhh.
It’s actually very rainy here too this week, but hasn’t gotten colder that 50 degrees!
Kitcath, I loooove this outfit! And I remember that purse! I never remember you using it before, and surprisingly is so perfect. Sitting in your closet it looked a bit stuffy for your style, but of course you make anything look perfecto when you wear it. How do we share the same genes, and I don’t have that knack?
Love and Miss you,
Larbar
p.s. It has snowed here the past few days (nothing sticks on the ground), and it’s coooooold. I can’t believe you aren’t wearing a jacket and just have a wee light jumper on. HOW are we on the same planet?!
p.p.s. Urgent: please send sun.
Will send sun as soon as I can figure out the technology. I’m not even wearing a shirt under that top – that’s how warm it was this weekend!
The purse is a little stuffy and the main reason I haven’t used it is because it doesn’t fully fit a book in it – not closed anyways. And you know that’s a deal breaker for us!
xoxo, Cath
